EMPLOYEES

Employee skill adaptation is simul- taneous with the evolution of the Group s strategy. New require- ments in terms of customer cen- tricity, commitment to Group val- ues or collaborative work are being added to existing technical and managerial qualifications. The Rexel Academy addresses these expectations.

THE REXEL ACADEMY The Rexel Academy will be a digital company university designed to be a widely accessible blend- ed learning platform. The media used include e-learning modules, documents to download, quizzes, videos, self-evaluations and MOOC (Massive Online Open Courses), and also offer classroom-based learning (coaching, training, etc.).

Each training session can thus mix different media, some of which are already available; in particular the training modules developed by the Group, its subsidiaries, or product manufacturers. The aim of this content sharing is to im- prove access to development pro- grams and to optimize costs. >>
